A home-field Western Final is a delightful 10th-anniversary present for Jorgen Hus.

But the 36-year-old long snapper — the Saskatchewan Roughriders’ longest-serving active player — hopes for even better things well beyond Saturday’s CFL playoff clash with the B.C. Lions (5:30 p.m., Mosaic Stadium).

The winner will advance to the 112th Grey Cup Game, to be played Nov. 16 at Princess Auto Stadium in Winnipeg.

“This is as good a shot as we’ve had, I believe, in the last decade,” Hus says, “so I’m really looking forward to seeing how it goes.”

Hus is preparing for his fifth division final since becoming a Roughrider in 2015.

In 2017, Saskatchewan made the playoffs as a crossover team and advanced to the Eastern Final against the Toronto Argonauts, who won 25-21. Late in the fourth quarter, the Roughriders were one defensive stop shy of advancing to the Grey Cup.

Two years later, the 13-5 Roughriders finished first in the West and played host to the division final. Again, there was heartbreak. The Winnipeg Blue Bombers celebrated a 20-13 victory after Saskatchewan’s last pass, on the final play of the game, hit Mosaic Stadium’s north-end crossbar.

With a Grey Cup berth being contested, the Roughriders and Blue Bombers met in Winnipeg in 2021 and 2024.

Even after Winnipeg won 38-22 last November, Hus travelled to Vancouver during Grey Cup Week. He received the CFL’s Jake Gaudaur Veterans’ Award, recognizing exemplary strength, perseverance, courage, comradeship and contribution to Canadian communities.

As much as Hus appreciated the award, he wanted to be at the Grey Cup Festival with all his teammates. One more win will send everyone to the Manitoba capital.

“This is such a great group,” Hus says in advance of his 149th consecutive game. “When you’ve got a group like this and a coaching staff like this and we’re doing so well, it’s not hard to get out of bed and get motivated.

“I’m just enjoying it more than ever.”

The Saskatoon-born Hus, a graduate of the University of Regina Rams, joined the Roughriders on May 11, 2015 when he was acquired from Edmonton for receiver Cory Watson.

At that time, the Roughriders had two seasons of tenancy remaining at historic Mosaic Stadium.

“It feels like the last 10 years has flown by in all parts of my life,” Hus marvels. “When I think back to my rookie year and snapping with Paul McCallum kicking, that seems like ages ago, too.

“I’ve been so fortunate to stay healthy and I’ve just been having a lot of fun.”

Hus, who has 167 regular-season games to his good name, is 26th on the Roughriders’ All-Time list.

Another season of a full 18 games would move him into an 18th-place tie with Mike McCullough and, suitably, McCallum.

“It’s kind of funny how it changes,” Hus reflects. “You come in as a rookie and the lights are bright and everything. As the years go by, everything kind of quiets down, slows down. You see things slower on the field and you get better because of that.

“I’m playing at a position where you can literally keep getting better at it throughout your career. I’m lucky that way, too.

“If you’re not having this much fun, you probably don’t play this long, but I’m having a blast and I’m hoping this year ends the way we all want it to.”
